"Yes! We are all individuals!"
"I'm not."

Took me 10 minutes to realise why that was funny.
It's a slow burner (like my brain)

I take it you haven't seen the Life of Brian.

Loads of times, although not for a while.
Thats my excuse anyway!

I may put my own brain on the annoying things thread.

A potted history of crazy frog:

Funny to see someone else asking the same thing about the genitals! I guess they are there because the image was created by peurile young men?

goddamm i hate that frog

All Swedes have little green willies, well known fact

littler known fact then youd think... i didnt know that

Sh*t meant to say little green wellies. Oh well hope nobody is disappointed.

The Audi A6 will spontaneously explode, and the pieces from the explosion, whilst seeming to be random geometric shapes, will spell out the words "vorsprung durch technik" when viewed from a certain angle, then reassemble themselves back into an Audi A6.

Will this happen as I'm travelling down the M20 at 80 mph?

No but don't try hitting a fat naturist with a dead fish at that speed. What the f**k is that mini advert about

i love that advert

I dunno. The 'it's a mini-adventure' ones made sense when you saw both parts of the ad, but I've seen two bits of the 'Nordic mad naturists' one now, and I still don't gwt it.

Ok, I saw the new british gas advert last night (with Brenda Blethyn) and I *really* don't understand it.

Guy standing next to a wheel of fortune thing. Brenda says: "Do you want to gamble with energy prices?" Stooge replys "No". Brenda urges him to think again and the audince all nod at him so he changes his answer to "Yes". Brenda then starts talking about fixed-price deals so there is not need for the gambleometer. Didn't they all just encourage him to say he *did* want to gamble with prices?

I may have missed the point there somewhere, but it left me rather confused.

Why are there so many nekkid nordic/scandinavian types on telly ads just now? What message is the Virgin holidays trying to put across with the tape-and-loo-roll dance of the seven veils advert?

i dont get that one

>> Why are there so many nekkid nordic/scandinavian types on telly ads just now? <<

I'm not seeing these...am I missing out on something?

RF

>>I'm not seeing these...am I missing out on something?

Decidedly not! You know the standard image of naturists (fat, middle aged, wrinklies) - so do the advertising execs.... Arg!

Aah, I was confused by the use of the word "Scandinavian" into imagining "young, blonde, female, could be in Abba"...

RF

Re the British Gas ad, I think Brenda B asks the guy if he's sure, and when he says yes he's actually saying yes, he's sure he doesn't want to gamble with energy prices. That's how I saw it, and I think it makes slightly more sense that way.

I think.

Instant coffee. "Half Cafe" or something, Nescafe (?) coffee with half the caffeine removed.



OK, there are those that drink coffee for the caffeine, and there are precious ones that drink coffee for the taste.



If you want weaker coffee then put less *uc*ing coffee in the cup, MAKE IT WEAKER!!!



Unless that's the idea, get people used to drinking the *brushings-up* so you need to use twice as much to get a half-decent (please excuse the pun) cup of coffee.



Not a big drinker of instant coffee, if anything it's another brand and of a different type; but that advert, it make me want to go and make a pot of tea!
